About Me

I had an interest in singing and rhythem as early as 5 years. My dad introduced me to the 1-2 drum beat in 4/4. I began playing guitar at the age of 10 or 11- but took serious interest around 16 or 17. I make my living as a musician and teacher at 2 teaching venues right now. I am working on a recording for vinyl and CD/surround 5.1 DVD of some compositions that Mike Maletta and I have written for a recording with other Pro players in Last Sacrament... I enjoy recording various sounds concrete or classical aesthetics.. experimenting with compiling and arranging them, writing various kinds of music, and recording in the studio. I also have an interest in other things like tunings, ethnomusicology, history, philosophy, religion and mythology.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 2/13/2007
Influences: The true musician (by Erik Satie) He grows in wisdom...He is brilliant...He learns to do without and is prepared to make great sacrifices...enormous sacrifices... if I may say...His energy is tremendous... In other words he is prepared for the struggle...and with honesty he shall fight it... The performance of an Art demands complete self-denial... ...It was not meant as a joke what I just said...about sacrifices... The Music makes heavy demands upon those who want to devote themselves in it...This is what I have wanted you to call your attention to... A true musician must subordinate himself his Art; ...he must place himself above human suffering; ...he must draw courage from within...and only from within.

Type of Label: None
